Beijing western mountainous area comprises mountains, water, karst caves, peaks, valleys, springs and waterfalls, where is an ideal site to develop geological tourism. Some featured geological scenes, however, such as “storm rocks” in Mentougou are not well known in China, but much attracted by foreign geological scientists. This paper, aiming at the Cambrian marine carbonate strata, the featured geological scenes, gives a detailed introduction to the storm rocks, walnutlike rock zone, alga hills, and leopard skin limestone from location, description and genesis, and suggests to develop them. To open a geological visiting route in the Cambrian marine carbonate strata in Beijing western mountainous area can not only protect geological resources, but also raise visitors’interests and knowledge in geology.
